Could not agree more. I can't think of a government service which should be less private. War should be as expensive, difficult and burdensome on the nation as possible.

Re: Our House: it looks a lot like Wookie accidentally banhammered him when skalf got got. This will likely be resolved once Wookie returns and confirms his intentions. Chill out, everything will be fine.

Oh dunk, good to see skalf get slapped back to Reddit.

Maybe at some point, but to go beyond just stating my general opinions to citing examples and tying things together? I'm not capable at this point of writing a book on this or anything, but it sounds like a 10 pager at least to get close.

Crucial to it though is that a lot of the benefit you are talking about is wrongly claimed in full by Capitalism, when things like the green revolution were largely spread by people like Henry Wallace, and this growth in the developing world was well under way before NAFTA, CAFTA, TPP, TPIP, etc..

When trump gives over the civilian military to Bety's little brother how many republicans will be "concerned"?

This one will really break the GOPs brains as they think the only good part of government is the military yet all privatization is good.

Yes. And prisons too.

The GOP doesn't actually like the military. They like war. Outsourcing the fighting, one way or another has always been cool from the 300k Koreans fighting in Vietnam, to the Contras, to Blackwater.

Yeah, this was late night modding while mostly focused on a fussy baby girl.

Oh look a sane person.

Cool so Our House blog is reopening? Sweet thanks.

I posted it might be an accident hours ago. Calm down.

So that's what a ban feels like? It's like an internet straightjacket. Soooo uncomfortable.

our house should get to ban someone for a day as compensation. fair's fair

Spoiler alert: What did Obama do in Afghanistan? Trump will do the opposite.

Not addressed to me, but this is like an OCD thing. If someone says "Calm down" this must be posted.

That's not a very nice way to describe Our House.

9 pm right when game of thrones comes on... I'll be sure to miss it lol

No the argument is again the same thing. The Jefferson Memorial is still perceived to celebrate things people believe in. Thats why people are not pissed off about it. Maybe its hard/impossible for you to see they are highly intertwined, but thats not my fault. That perception and people not being pissed needs to change before anything is done. Certainly from a practical standpoint and since the only people arguing for removal seem to be you/sklansky types, i don't see anything changing anytime soon, or any desire on my part even for it to.


I assumed we all agreed that basically nobody wants it down because proponents who want it down would be stupid not to point out that they disagree. Agreed it was completely unjustified for me to make that assumption given who's arguing for team tear down.

Me so sad. Step up pussy and answer for yourself you dull ass orange corn cob.

lol working hard AND watching a lot of tv coverage of myself

If there was a god, when his fat grease filled heart finally seizes, there would be one extra agonising chest pain for every time he used the term fake news.

I know this has been said before, but it is times like these that I really want Trump to play more golf (like 24 hours a day for the next 3-1/2 years).
